Mary Clive, Lady Pansy Lamb[edit]
( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that Lady Mary and her sister Pansy had few childhood friends as they wore such out-of-date clothes?
Created by Gareth E Kegg (talk), Moonraker (talk). Nominated by Gareth E Kegg (talk) at 01:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC).
Both articles about remarkable women, are adequately sourced using inline citations, nominated well within time limit. Hook is cited in both articles. To be honest I'm not sure whether I'm missing something - has this nom been overlooked for a particular reason? It's a shame Lady Pansy Lamb was not nominated separately, as she was subject of a John Betjeman poem, a far more interesting fact in my view! However, as it stands, the current hook has enough curiosity. It needs rewording, however, to fully identify the subjects. I would suggest

- That's an improvement, and I concur with your thoughts on Pansy, I do sometimes despise reducing great lives to a weird "hook". Thank you. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 21:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
